Looks like I will be getting my first cocktail and its a pacman of course! I have been told that it belonged to a country singer and they signed it. Of course the guy who owns it doesn't remember who signed it yet or where it is signed. lol old age I guess... It's been in his house for a very long time and hasn't worked in 20+ years.

Granted I don't know who the singer is but would it add any value to the machine if it was a known star, and the autograph was in a good location?
 
you know what its like trying to authenticate autographs? if they cant even remember who it was then its probably no one worth while anyway.
 
Ah... This is my old boss and if he hasn't seen it in 20 years I can understand not remembering who it is. Hell I would have a hard time too and im a little younger than him.

The price is right... wth

You'd have to find just the right buyer. It probably wouldn't be of any additional value to someone unless they were a fan of said star AND a Pac-Man fan. I can't imagine an autograph collector or a Pac-Man fan alone paying more for it.

The short answer is No, it probably wouldn't add any monetary value.

The longer answer is Maybe, but I wonder how many people are looking for a Pac cocktail *AND* would be big enough Garth Brooks (my guess for a best case scenario) fans to pay extra for a Pac-Man that he signed? My wild guess would be that it would add maybe $200 on a super minty Pac cocktail, making a $1000 machine a $1200 machine. (Are people still getting a grand for cocktail Pac's on ebay?)

Weird stuff happens though, and if it was up on ebay and 2 rich fans wanted it for their game room, you might hit a jackpot. I wouldn't risk much money betting on it though.

Well, I will tell you this. I am not a Pac fan, and I am not in the market for a cocktail of any type as my red tent is pretty much the only one I laid out space for in my game room...but if Conway signed it I would think hard about it!! I admit I grew up on classic country and there was an inside Conway joke between my mother and I so I that makes me odd man out in that regard!!
 
A little goof-off should take care of it ;) .

Garth Brooks would be one of the worst case scenarios. He's a fame whore, he's signed millions of things and his autograph would be worth about 3 dollars.

It could potentially be something interesting. Waylon Jennings for instance. He's been gone for 15 years, or how about Tammy Wynette? Maybe she liked Pac Man. She died 20 years ago. Roger Miller? Eddy Arnold? Minnie Pearl? LOL

If it's somebody respected, who's dead, it might be worth all kinds of money.

If it's somebody cool and well liked, it may be worth a bit too... like Charley Pride, or Little Jimmy Dickens.
 
The signature won't do one thing for the game. Nothing.

Unless there is some sort of documentation or COA for it. Without any paperwork to claim its authenticity, it's nothing more than just a scribble. For how many counterfeit items are out there, anyone would be a fool to pay big bucks for an "autograph" that is undocumented.
